Foam stops sloshing liquid
Sep 19, 2016 (SPX)
Clinking your glass of beer often leaves its contents sloshing back and forth. Soon, though, the motion stops, your drink settles down, and you can take a sip w...
Breakthrough in materials science: Kiel research team can bond metals with nearly all surfaces
Sep 19, 2016 (SPX)
Through this "nanoscale-sculpturing" process, metals such as aluminium, titanium, or zinc can permanently be joined with nearly all other materials, become wate...
Tuning materials and devices to adapt to their environment
Sep 19, 2016 (SPX)
Materials with large dielectric constants - aka "high-K materials" - have recently garnered attention for their potential use within future generations of reduc...
State Dept. approves possible radar sale to Egypt
Sep 19, 2016 (UPI)
Egypt has received U.S. State Department approval for the acquisition of Sentinel AN/MPQ-64F1 radars through the U.S. Foreign Military Sales program. The possib...
Researchers build world's largest database of crystal surfaces and shapes
Sep 19, 2016 (SPX)
Nanoengineers at the University of California San Diego, in collaboration with the Materials Project at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab), ha...
PPPL researchers test device that analyzes components within a vacuum
Sep 19, 2016 (SPX)
Physicists at the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory (PPPL) have successfully tested a new device that will lead to a better ...
Metal in chains
Sep 15, 2016 (SPX)
If one looked deep into three different solids using a super-microscope, one would, in principle, always see the same thing: atomic nuclei arranged in a crystal...
Deriving inspiration from the dragon tree
Sep 15, 2016 (SPX)
Could dragon trees serve as a source of inspiration for innovations in lightweight construction? A team of researchers at the University of Freiburg and the Kar...
With great power comes great laser science
Sep 15, 2016 (SPX)
It is a very unusual kind of laser: researchers at the photonics institute at TU Wien (Vienna) have built a device which emits ultrashort flashes of infrared li...
Developing composites that self-heal at very low temperatures
Sep 15, 2016 (SPX)
Scientists have developed a method of allowing materials, commonly used in aircraft and satellites, to self-heal cracks at temperatures well below freezing. The...
On-surface chemistry leads to novel products
Sep 15, 2016 (SPX)
On-surface chemical reactions can lead to novel chemical compounds not yet synthesized by solution chemistry. The first-step, second-step, and third-step produc...
Smartphone hacks 3-D printer by measuring 'leaked' energy and acoustic waves
Sep 13, 2016 (SPX)
The ubiquity of smartphones and their sophisticated gadgetry make them an ideal tool to steal sensitive data from 3-D printers. That's according to a new Univer...
UMD physicists discover 'smoke rings' made of laser light
Sep 13, 2016 (SPX)
Most basic physics textbooks describe laser light in fairly simple terms: a beam travels directly from one point to another and, unless it strikes a mirror or o...
New material to revolutionize water proofing
Sep 13, 2016 (SPX)
Scientists at The Australian National University (ANU) have developed a new spray-on material with a remarkable ability to repel water. The new protective coati...
New material with exceptional negative compressibility
Sep 13, 2016 (SPX)
Our intuition tells us that a sample of material compressed uniformly from all sides should reduce its dimensions. Only a few materials subjected to hydrostatic...
